Dinner at "Robin Hood Zorro", a Mexican Polish restaurant!

Starters, so many things

Fajita frenzy!

Enchiladas with lots of things

One of the many murals
On Monday Quentin and I went to Hammersmith to go winter clothes shopping and get dinner. I was looking up what kind of restaurants there were in Hammersmith and saw that there was one called 'Robin Hood Zorro' which was a Mexican/Polish restaurant which I thought sounded hilarious so we should definitely go there. It wasn't too far down the road from where the shops are in Hammersmith so it was a good location.

When we walked in we were a bit taken aback because it is extremely decorated in there! They have murals everywhere of Robin Hood and Zorro, both apart and together, including one of the two of them having a sword fight with real swords (well metal anyway) which were stuck to the painting as well as a gun which was also stuck on, super hilarious!

The menu was interesting because it was like a whole Mexican menu and a whole polish menu with some other random stuff as well. We decided to go for Mexican since it is one of our favourite foods rather than polish, although I would like to try more Polish food as well.

We ordered one starter to share which was lucky because the starter and the mains were really huge! For the starter it was all sorts of random things, some onion rings, deep fried cheese sticks, deep fried peppers stuffed with cheese, garlic mushrooms, spring rolls and a sort of nacho tortilla thing. It wasn't much on presentation but it all tasted good and gave us the idea to make a Mexican pizza which we did later in the week.

For mains I got fajitas because they are my favourite, and Quentin got enchiladas because they are his favourite. Quentin's enchiladas came with Mexican rice, chips and salad. The rice was really tasty but a bit spicy for him so he didn't eat it all. The enchiladas were good and had plenty of vegetables as well as cheese. It may have been the same vegetable mix as my fajitas but we weren't sure. He was happy anyway and managed to eat most of it although he did have to use some of my sour cream to make it less spicy.

On the other hand I thought my fajitas were a bit lacking in spice. The vegetables had a nice flavour but I would have to say they were very mild which was a little disappointing. The vegetable mix was a bit strange as well since it included things like baby corn and baby carrots but was still good since it had onions, peppers, beans and so on. The vegetables came on a sizzling platter which was exciting, and came with a heated container of tortillas, cheese, guacamole, salsa and cheese. I managed to eat two tortillas and about half the vegetables but then I was super full. The lady who was serving us put it in a container for me to take home which was nice of her.

There seemed to be only the one lady working although there must have been a chef as well, and she was really lovely. She didn't seem in a hurry and had a little chat with us which was nice. Quentin and I both agreed that the food was good but not great. It was delicious because it was Mexican but it wasn't the best Mexican we had ever had. Overall I would score them a 3.5 because the food was good but not great, although the service was excellent. I would consider going back there for entertainment value, maybe with a group of friends.
